How about the news tells the truth without political diatribe and opinion is irrelevant because it is often culturally uninformed and blatantly ignorant.

Can I teach you to walk, or do you learn to walk? or talk?

Does today's news report science opinion or established known laws of fact? Opinion or statistical empirical fact?

I can not off hand think of the news reporting an unknown without an attachment opinion of persuasion. I can think of tons of false flag reports and retractions after the intended damage has been done regardless of anyone's opinion.

Based upon the modus operandi of the MSM, there is no credibility now at all. Name one liberal that has been censored by social media platforms.

Yes, it's good to visualize the full distribution of opinions. Once upon a time, American politics was a Gaussian distribution centered at the political middle. Today it's two separate distributions, one on the left and one on the right. There are no more neutral voters.

Yes, it's nice to be able to measure subtle differences in opinion, and it's nice to have a GUI engine that can input opinions and display them.

Yes, it's good to know if there is a split distribution of opinion. It means we should avoid tyranny of the majority. It means we need debate. The title of Dr. Koonin's book on climate is "Unsettled". We need to know if a problem is unsettled. Modern scientism regards unsettled problems to be settled, and then bullies with their "consensus". It needs to be shown graphically that consensus doesn't exist.

It's a rich question, how to design a platform. Facebook kicked Myspace's ass because Facebook is a better platform. Slug is a better platform than Facebook. Slug has better features than Facebook.

How would y'all design a social media platform?

American potential energy function:

Ways to generate a continuum with symbols:

With a 2D display, there are 2 space dimensions (X and Y) and 5 symbol dimensions, for a total of 7 dimensions. You can pack much information into a 2D display. For example, college rankings. jaymaron.com/collegebubble.html [jaymaron.com]

The only problem with crowdsource wisdom is that I’d often leads to incorrect and untrue groupthink decisions.

Crowdsourced opinions led to the Salem witch trials and many people were killed because of a fungus in a rye and the hallucinogenic effects in those who are the breads made with the rye.

Crowd sourced opinions are easily manipulated by those with power and an agenda: the crowd called for the crucifixion of Jesus when He had done nothing except to heal them, feed them, teach them and defend them against those in positions of power.

But credibility would destroy the narrative. I mean we must have two teams, one black, one white to secure the political system.
Agreement would mean perfect harmony and truth?
Are donuts good or bad for you?
Yes and no.
I rest my case.
